What makes Master Yi dangerous
Master Yi is untargetable during his Q (Alpha Strike), heals with his W, and his ultimate makes him faster and immune to slows while cutting through a team. If he snowballs, his Q resets on kills let him wipe entire fights. He is farm-dependent and useless if behind.
How to play against Master Yi
- 1Hard CC beats him — but he can dodge single-target CC with his Q. Chain your CC or save it for after his Q, then lock him down.
- 2His ult ignores slows, so bring stuns, roots, and knock-ups instead. A single well-timed stun deletes him in a fight.
- 3Punish him early: invade and pressure his jungle before level 6. A behind Yi never gets the items he needs to carry.
- 4Don't let him reset — never fight a snowballing Yi with your team clumped and low. Peel him off your carries and burst him before he gets a kill.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Completely farm/snowball dependent — weak when behind.
- ✓Melee auto-attacker: hard CC shuts him off.
- ✓No ranged threat and no waveclear pre-items.
- ✓Vulnerable while his Q is on cooldown.

Strong: huge attack/move speed and slow immunity to cut through a team. Weak: ignores slows, so bring stuns/roots/knock-ups — one stun deletes him.
Itemization
Yi is AD on-hit: armor and attack-speed slows (Randuin's Omen, Frozen Heart) wreck him, and Grievous Wounds cuts his W healing. Tenacity and hard CC (Exhaust, stuns) are the reliable answers in fights.
